Swizz Beatz has revealed that he was a "musical, street kid" as a teenager.

The producer and rapper, who appears in an episode of MTV's When I Was 17, has said that he spent his time cutting hair at the barbershop, listening to TLC and DJing college parties as a teen, reports Rap-Up.

Last week it was reported that Beatz married R&B star Alicia Keys in France. Beatz also recently claimed that he will support his child with Keys in whatever career choice he or she chooses.
